Every month I post my updated net worth for those that are interested in following my progress. I have been tracking my net worth online since January 2006. I enjoy compiling the numbers each month, and doing so keeps me motivated, focused, and accountable.
This month’s numbers…
Well, we finally broke through $1.5 million, which was a struggle to get that last little bit. I just have to take what the market gives me and this month it swung up, so our net worth reflects that.
Retirement accounts are still well below their peaks so hopefully there is more recovery to come, but honestly the macro environment is not looking that great for enjoying the strong market returns in the near future.
We may languish for a bit, but I’ll just keep contributing and trying to find alpha where I can.
Hey, I just came across an old post of mine from 2008 where I linked to a net worth post of yours, also from 2008. :)

You were on $71K or thereabouts back then.
So I was thrilled to see your progress to $1.5m! Congratulations!
I’ll check in again in another 15 years, and in another bear market ;)
Haha, that’s amazing. Kind of hard to believe we’ve actually been posting that long.
Thanks for stopping by, and I look forward to seeing you again in another 15!
